Same Day Crowns – Easy, Convenient and Hassle-free

A dental crown is an essential tool in the field of dental care that your preferred dentist uses to keep your teeth in its optimal shape.

Your dentist can administer one of these tooth-shaped crowns, also known as “caps” over your teeth for a wide array of reasons, such as:

1. To hold the chunks of a cracked tooth together at its place.
2. To strengthen a weak tooth.
3. For restoring the appearance of a  misshaped or discolored tooth.
4. To support a tooth with a filling, and more.

Dental crowns can effectively save a tooth by supporting it. It also restores the appearance of the tooth to give you a natural smile.

Temporary Dental Crowns

Resin Crowns:

All types of resin crowns offer you an affordable option, unlike the typical porcelain or ceramic crowns. However, crowns made from resin are prone to wear and tear. That’s why it’s typically used only as a temporary replacement for your tooth.

Stainless Steel Crowns:

Crowns made from stainless steel are also preferred as a temporary option to cover the gaps and protect a tooth until the permanent crown is ready.

Pre-fabricated crowns (stainless steel or resin crowns) are also used extensively to protect teeth from continued decay among children.

Permanent Dental Crowns

Are you allergic to metal? If that’s the case Porcelain or Ceramic crowns are the best choices. Crowns made of Porcelain or Ceramic can be acutely manufactured to match the natural color of your teeth. These crowns seamlessly blend in with your existing teeth and are hard to differentiate.

Metal crowns fused with Porcelain are a popular choice because they can be matched in color with the teeth nearby. They are ultra-durable and provide strength to dental appliances like dental bridges. Additionally, crowns made of a gold alloy, nickel, chromium, or palladium are resistant to breaking and chipping. So are these crowns the best? Well, there are a few things you must note:

1. When compared to some other types, this type of dental crown can act as a reason for the wearing of the adjacent teeth.
2. Sometimes, the metal base can become visible at the gum line.
3. The primary disadvantage of metal crowns is the color.
4. Finally, unlike ceramic and porcelain crowns, metal crowns don’t blend with natural teeth. However, these crowns are the best option for back teeth which are out of sight.

Quality and Convenience – Same-Day Crowns

A few years back, the only option for getting a crown was an extensive process which included:

• Let your dentist take an impression of the damaged tooth allowing him or her to make a mold if the same.
• Receiving a temporary crown until the new one gets manufactured.
• Next, the mold would be sent to a dental lab where the impression was used to make a crown.
• After a few weeks, you would visit your dentist for receiving the newly made crowns.

Today, dentists have many advanced options at their fingertips based on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing that help them deliver superior service and products in way lesser time. Now, your crowns are machine carved from a ceramic block right in the office.

The result: Same material, same quality, same build, same color but all done in one-day, typically a few hours.
